- Ana Navarro is on a *View *hiatus, but still took aim at political figures Melania and Donald Trump.

- The Republican cohost slammed the First Lady after she urged Vladimir Putin to end the Ukraine war for children.**

- "How about all the children in America?" Navarro asked in a new video.

Just because she's busy dancing on Grecian yachts and jumping into the sea to fetch more wine from a neighboring vessel doesn't mean *The View* cohost Ana Navarro has forgotten about attempting to keep political figures in check on the global stage, thank you very much!

Amid the ABC talk show's ongoing summer hiatus, the 53-year-old Republican panelist shared Tuesday an impassioned Instagram video in which she called out Melania Trump's recent letter to Russian leader Vladimir Putin that saw the First Lady calling for an end to the war in Ukraine.

In her post, Navarro labeled the First Lady's words as "stuff that's so hypocritical you almost can't believe it," before reciting several sentences from the letter that President Donald Trump recently hand-delivered to Putin at a meeting.

In the letter, the First Lady said that Putin could end the war with the "stroke of the pen," and highlighted a "responsibility to sustain our children" in a "dignity-filled world" filled with peace.

"Think about what her husband, what Donald Trump, is doing to the children of immigrants in America," Navarro posed, before highlighting the administration's controversial ongoing raids that have led to mass deportations in the country. "How many of those children are living with the fear or their parents being dragged through the streets of America? Their car windows smashed in? Their parents beaten by masked men and disappeared?"

Navarro again questioned, "How about all of the children in America?" before alleging things like "children being denied SNAP benefits" and "children all over the world who are not receiving U.S. aide because [Melania's] husband's government decided we shouldn't be feeding starving children all over the world?"

Navarro said that Melania's letter "strikes me as ridiculously hypocritical," while she offered a lightly dismissive round of applause that praised the First Lady for doing a "good thing" in speaking out about Ukraine.

"But maybe she should turn around and say the exact same thing to her husband, because there are children in America crying, suffering, going to bed in fear, returning to homes that are abandoned and empty, not knowing where their next meal is coming from," Navarro finished.

Navarro and her *View* cohosts have long been critical of Trump and his administration, particularly throughout the 2024 presidential election cycle.

Fellow Republican panelist Alyssa Farah Griffin, who previously worked for Trump's communications team during his first term in office before resigning and speaking out against him, even went as far as to reveal that she voted for a Democrat for the first time in her life when she cast her ballot for Vice President Kamala Harris in November.

Though* The View *has posted strong ratings across its recent season, the show has come under intense fire from conservative figures — including former cohost Meghan McCain, whom has taken aim at the show in general (she said in March that Rosie O'Donnell once warned her that the show was a "cesspool") as well as cohosts like Griffin and Navarro.

Government officials have also criticized *The View*, with a White House representative even telling EW that the show could be "pulled off the air" if its cohosts don't check their liberal bias, while Federal Communications Commission chair Brendan Carr said during a Fox News appearance that he thinks there could be "consequences" for the show if the stars don't change their tone.
